<p>Juno has nothing on this.</p>
<p>Meet the <a href="http://hamburgerbed.com/">Hamburger Bed</a>, the brainchild of a crafty burger enthusiast in Texas. This existential creation challenges our dietary norms, raising questions like &#8220;Who&#8217;s eating who?&#8221; and &#8220;Where&#8217;s the ketchup?&#8221; Also, it&#8217;s apparently very comfortable.</p>
<p>According to the creator, Kayla, the hamburger bed is composed of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>circular bed + box frame (circa the &#8217;70s)</li>
<li>light brown fabric</li>
<li>slightly darker light brown fabric</li>
<li>dark brown king-sized fitted sheet</li>
<li>yellow, green king-sized sheets (skip the yellow if you don&#8217;t want a <em>cheese</em>burger)</li>
<li>30 or so pillows</li>
<li>&#8220;a couple of zippers&#8221;</li>
<li>pantyhose (to fashion sesame seeds)</li>
</ul>

<p>A blog called <a href="http://sweetgrace.typepad.com/the_inadvertent_farmer/2010/02/do-it-yourself-chalkboard-paint-furniture-craft-tutorial.html">The Inadvertent Farmer</a> on Typepad has a neat article about a D.I.Y. project that turned a defunct dresser into a dynamic cabinet for art supplies. Covered head-to-toe in chalkboard paint, this revived piece of furniture is the perfect canvas for doodles and drawer labels alike. Plus, it now features a glass surface to safely showcase artwork.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.afurnitureblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/glass-surface.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-134  aligncenter" title="glass surface" src="http://www.afurnitureblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/glass-surface-300x176.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>According to the blog, the refurbishing cost only $77 dollars, which covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chalkboard paint ($7)</li>
<li>Brushed metal drawer pulls ($40)</li>
<li>Glass top and bumpers ($30)</li>
</ul>
